Purpose : A majority of patients with neuronal migration disorders(NMDs) in cortical structures suffer from medically intractable epilepsy. The role of NMDs on seizure susceptibility or epileptogenecity has not been well documented. In the present study, we established an experimental model of NMDs in Sprague-Dawley rats by exposing fetal rats to external irradiation in order to demonstrate epileptogenic effect of NMDs lesions. Methods : Pregnant...
